Getting Started Making Cheese Getting Started Making Cheese I am a home cheese maker - I started by taking a basic cheese making class and using store bought cow's milk about 15 years ago. I found that I loved the process of making cheese and the results are yummy. We raise fiber goats so I figured - what is one more goat in the barn - I'll get a dairy goat! Jet Blue provided me with kids and milk for 7 years. Along the way I have done tons of experimentation and I have learned that I am not good at making aged cheeses! I do great at fresh cheese and have worked at coming up with combinations of recipes and techniques from many different sources to create my own "fool-proof" versions and variations of simple, easy to make fresh cheeses from fresh off the farm and store bought ingredients. Home cheese making is a combination of the process and the product, art and science. Yes, it tastes better when you make it yourself especially from local or home grown ingredients, usually it is cheaper, and taking the time to make it yourself you have connected to generations around the world providing good, wholesome food to share around the table with friends and family. In this session you will learn 2 techniques: the first is to make ricotta, queso blanco, paneer /panir, and mascarpone from ingredients most likely in your refrigerator and a second, simple fresh lactic acid cheese using small amounts of rennet – formage blanc, farmer’s cheese/pot cheese, chevre, cream cheese, etc. Equipment Stainless steel pot that holds at least 1 gallon Thermometer that reads 75-200 degrees Slotted ladle/spoon or whisk - preferably stainless steel Measuring cups & spoons that can be sterilized in boiling water Colander "Cheese" cloth - cloth diapers offer the perfect weave for draining & pressing Ingredients: Milk - raw or pasteurized milk – not ultra-pasteurized! Buttermilk or direct set (DVI) mesophilic culture – MM100, MM11, MM101 Calcium chloride – best to use if using pasteurized milk or goats’ milk Rennet - liquid or tablet (I prefer liquid), animal or vegetable The recipes use single strength, if you have double strength use ½ the amount You can get vegetable rennet which is double strength Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (I prefer lemon juice) These are made to be a standard 5% acid Many printed recipes may call for citric acid or tartaric acid Kosher, cheese, or non-iodized salt Uncultured Fresh Cheese: This group of cheeses use high temperature and acid to separate the milk solids from the liquid. They are mild in flavor and primarily used in cooking and baking. A variety of acids can be used that will impart slightly different tastes – apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, citric acid, and tartaric acid. In most cases – my go to is lemon juice, it is readily available and gives a fresh taste to the cheese. Milk does not need to be pasteurized nor equipment sterilized due to the high temperature used to make the cheese. You can use a double boiler set up to avoid any scorching at these higher temperatures. Ricotta 1 gallon whole milk ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or lemon juice ¼ - ½ teaspoon salt In a stainless steel pot bring the milk to 185 degrees. Stir often to avoid scorching. Remove from heat and stir in the acid. Keep stirring until there are small flecks and the liquid is no longer milky looking (it will be a bit yellow). Let set for 10 minutes. Pour into a cloth lined colander and drain for 20 minutes. As you put it into your storage container mix in salt to taste. If you want a creamier texture add a small amount of milk or cream. This will keep in the refrigerator up to one week. Paneer - Panir – Queso Blanco This is the cheese often used in Indian and Mexican cooking. It does not melt when it is heated and takes on the flavors it is cooked in/with. It can be sliced or cubed and added to soups or fried with or without a light breading. It is a lightly pressed version of ricotta. 1 gallon whole milk ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or lemon juice Salt (optional) In a stainless steel pot bring the milk to 185 degrees. Stir often to avoid scorching. Remove from heat and stir in the acid. Keep stirring until there are small flecks and the liquid is no longer milky looking (it will be a bit yellow). Let set for 10 minutes. Pour into a cloth lined colander and drain for 20 minutes. To make a firm, sliceable cheese you need to press it for 1 - 3 hours with an 8 pound weight as it drains. You can tie it and put between a cutting board or plate and a weight, (8 pounds is 1 gallon of water), like a large pot filled with water or you can create a simple draining form with a square storage container and a piece of wood. Wrap in plastic wrap, this will keep in the refrigerator up to one week. Mascarpone This Mascarpone is done with pasteurized milk (not ultra!) and Ultra Pasteurized cream because these are most available. If you do have the option to use raw milk and/or fresh cream, by all means do. There will be a difference, but you will be happy with either. 1 pint whole milk (2cups) 1 pint heavy cream 1/8 teaspoon calcium chloride diluted in ¼ cup of water 2 tablespoons lemon juice Set up a double boiler big enough to hold 1 quart. Pour the milk & cream into the bowl and add calcium chloride. Heat to 185 degrees, turn off heat and allow mixture to sit at this temperature about 5 minutes. Add acid mixture and stir gently until you see the solids separate. Remove pot from double boiler and let cool 30 minutes. Pour into a cloth lined colander and begin draining. Tie a knot and place in the refrigerator to drain. The finished Mascarpone should be stored in a covered dish or plastic container and refrigerated. It should be used within 7-10 days due to its fresh nature and high moisture. The mascarpone will become much thicker once chilled and will become more spreadable when brought back to room temperature. It can also be blended with confectioners’ sugar or honey for a sweeter cheese. This makes about 8 ounces. Fresh Cultured Cheeses: Cultures: Cultures are good bacteria, similar to those used to make yogurt and kefir, that you introduce to create flavor, acid and the transformation of milk solids into tasty curd. The good bacteria growth also inhibits the "bad" bacteria, especially since some cheeses are left out (not refrigerated for a period of time). A word of caution - do not make bread the same day you are making/hanging cheese - yeast will migrate/contaminate and effect the taste and freshness of your hanging cheese. Techniques/Process: Cheese making results are about ingredients and timing. If you like a thicker or creamier cheese add some cream or don't drain as long. It is dynamic, the variables can change with the season - spring, summer, fall and winter, what the animals are eating, the temperature and humidity in your kitchen will effect culturing and draining times, therefore consistency (though typically not flavor) can be effected. Every batch can be different. It's good to make notes so you can re-produce your really WOW batches. Chevre and Formage Blanc The technique for making chevre (a soft goat milk fresh cheese) and formage blanc (a cow milk fresh cheese) are the same. You can create a softer, creamier texture by draining less time or a firmer cheese like Neufchatel or cream cheese by adding extra cream and draining longer. Traditionally this is an evening milking cheese. The fresh warm milk is brought in, cultured, renneted, and left to sit out overnight. In the morning it is poured into cheese cloth and then left to drain between 8 and 24 hours. Ingredients: 1 gallon milk Culture – 1/2 cup cultured buttermilk or ¼ tsp. mesophilic DVI culture (MM 100 or MA 11) Rennet – liquid 2-3 drops for goats’ milk, 3-4 drops for cows’ milk Calcium Chloride – if using pasteurized milk or goat’s milk ¼ - 1/2 teaspoon Kosher or cheese salt – 1 ½ -2 teaspoons Technique: Fill the pot 2/3 to 3/4 full of water. Put into the pot the measuring cups, measuring spoon, saucer/plate, spoon/ladle. Put on burner, set on high, and put lid on. When the pot comes to a boil set the timer for 5 minutes. I leave it a while after the timer goes off and finish gathering things. While your pot is sterilizing – take a cup, add a drop or two of bleach, fill with water, and put the thermometer into the cup to sterilize. When the timer goes off – remove the lid of the pot. Use the tongs to take out the saucer/plate, then take out the measuring cups and place them on the counter, put the measuring spoon and spoon/ladle/whisk on the plate. Put a stopper into your sink. Pour the water from the pot into your sink and place the pot on the counter. Empty one gallon of milk into the pot and place it into the sink. Begin stirring to heat evenly. Rinse your thermometer and begin to check the temperature. When the milk temperature has reached 75-80 degrees, put the pot on the counter. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon culture or ½ cup buttermilk on the top and let sit for 2-3 minutes.

  • Quick Start Guide to Making Camembert Cheese
    Quick Start Guide to Making Camembert Cheese 1. Sanitize knife, spoon, cups, thermometer, racks and milk containers with 2 tablespoons of bleach in 1 gal of warm water. Or use a non-rinse sanitizer such as Star San. 2. Warm a gallon of whole milk (plus 1/2 to 3/4 pint of heavy cream if you want a double cream cheese) to 90F (32C). 3. Sprinkle Packet 1 onto the surface of the milk (Penicillium candidum, Geotrichum candidum and Mesophilic starter Culture). Wait a few minutes for the dry cultures to dissolve a bit. 4. Gently stir the milk to mix the cultures throughout the milk. Cover and leave the milk for 90 minutes at 90F while it ripens. Note: Adding a little Calcium Chloride to the ripened milk just before you add the Rennet will help the milk coagulate, especially if you are using homogenized milk. 5. Gently sprinkle the contents of Packet 2 (dry calf rennet) on the surface of the milk. Gently stir the top 1/2 inch of the milk. This will dissolve the rennet throughout the milk and keep the cream from rising to the top. Cover and leave at 90F or until you get a clean break. This will take between 60 minutes and 2 hours. 6. To test for a clean break, dip the stirring spoon into the curd. When it is ready you will see a little whey separate from the curd. Using a sanitized knife, dice the curd front to back and then left to right. Cut the curd horizontally or stir them to cut the larger pieces until most of the pieces of curd are about 1/2 inch.

  • Studies on the Formation of Gas in Milk
    January, 1916 Research Bulletin No. 27 STUDIES ON THE FORMATION OF GAS IN MILK BY B. W . HAMMER AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION IOWA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS DAIRY SECTION AMES, IOWA STUDIES OF THE FORMATION OF GAS IN MILK By B. W. Hammer. The gassy fermentation of milk has recently been observed a number of times in the Iowa State College creamery, particu­ larly in the milk set for the manufacture of various types of soft cheese. The isolation and study of the causal organism or organisms was undertaken in several cases and the results ob­ tained, together with a brief statement of the cases investigated, are herein presented. HISTORICAL. The gassy fermentation is one of the more common abnormal fermentations met in the field of dairying. It has been reported as occurring in milk, in various types of cheese, in starters, in whey, in butter, in various milk drinks and in canned milk. The fermentation has been studied by many different investigators under widely varying conditions and a number of organisms have been reported as standing in causal relationship to it. The literature on gassy fermentation has been dealt with a number of times by American investigators* and since there is no relationship between much of it and the work herein reported, only a few of the papers having points of interest from the pres­ ent standpoint will be mentioned. Undoubtedly the greatest loss as a result of the gassy fermen­ tation occurs in cheese. A number of the experiment stations1 of the United States located in sections producing large amounts of cheese have studied the question of gas production in this product and the means of overcoming it, as well as the sources of the of the responsible organisms.

  • Milk Protein Concentrate in Yogurt
    Milk Protein Concentrate in Yogurt By Philip Connolly Yogurt is becoming an increasingly popular dairy product with consumers around the world. While the regulations covering yogurt composition and manufacture may vary from country to country, the Proteinproduct, initself, Yogurt is pretty standard around the globe. There are three basic types of yogurt. What most consumers would call “regular” yogurt can be separated into two categories: set-in-cup yogurt (Set yogurt) and stirred curd yogurt (or Swiss style yogurt). Currently, the fastest growing yogurt segment in the U.S. is Greek style yogurt, otherwise known as Mediterranean style yogurt. Greek style yogurt differs from “regular” yogurt in that it contains a much higher protein content (usually at least 2 times the protein of regular yogurt) and a corresponding decrease in lactose. This article looks at the benefits of adding Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) to all types of yogurt to provide texture improvement, reduce syneresis, extend shelf life, improve flavor versus use of stabilizing gums and starches, and to enrich protein. “Regular” Yogurt Basics Yogurt is a fermented milk food that results from the culturing of milk with bacterial organisms. Most legal definitions of yogurt include the phrasing that the yogurt must be fermented from milk via culturing/growth of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus. It is these two organisms that contribute the characteristic, traditional flavor notes to yogurt. Other organisms can also be added to yogurt, such as probiotic organism’s bifidus and L. casei. Because yogurt composition regulations vary from country to country, this article will concentrate on U.S.

  • Milk 101 a Discussion on Dairy Fat
    milk 101 a discussion on dairy fat There are many different types of milk sold at the grocery store and one difference between them is the amount of fat they contain. The percentages included in the names of milk indicate how much fat is in the milk by weight. The different varieties match the wide range of consumer preferences. MILK 4% milk (whole milk) has the richest, thickest and creamiest taste. 4% It contains about 160 calories and 9 grams of fat per cup. MILK 2% milk (reduced-fat milk) still has a creamy taste but less so than 2% whole milk. It contains about 125 calories and 5 grams of fat per cup. 1% milk (low-fat milk) has a much less creamy taste and a thinner MILK mouthfeel and appearance. It contains about 100 calories and 2.5 1% grams of fat per cup. Fat-free milk (nonfat or skim milk) has no more than 0.2% milk fat, MILK FAT-FREE resulting in the thinnest mouthfeel and appearance. It contains about 80 calories and less than 1 gram of fat per cup. dairy fat science Research supports that whole-milk dairy is just as healthful as lower-fat options, despite its higher fat content. A recent review of the existing research on whole-milk dairy consumption published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that people who eat full-fat dairy are not more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than people who stick to low-fat dairy. Additionally, in 11 of the 16 studies included in the review, people who consumed more high-fat dairy products either weighed less or gained less weight over time.

  • Curds Recipe
    Basic Curds for Fresh Cheeses The first bit of magic in making cheese is turning milk into curds and whey. Once you have these precious curds, you can make dozens of different kinds of fresh cheeses. Though there are many steps and some things that must be done exactly, there is still plenty or room for experimentation and creativity. Don’t be afraid to play around some after you make a few batches and get the hang of it. And don’t get stuck on just cow milk. You can use this recipe for goat or sheep milks too or blend different milks together. Prep Time: Equipment: 30-45 minutes of work Double boiler 2-10 hours of waiting Skimmer Ingredients: Thermometer 2 gallons milk (raw or pasteurized) Scale ½ pint buttermilk Long thin knife ½ tsp single strength liquid rennet or ¼ tsp of double strength Butter muslin 2 tbs – ½ cup mother culture or Spatula or large spoon 1 packet of direct set culture Colander 16-24 grams non-iodized salt Cheese mold (optional) Spices/flavorings (optional) Ripening: It is important that you lower the PH of your milk before coagulating with rennet. Raw milk will ripen and become more acidic quite nicely on its own. Pasteurized milk needs some help. It is possible to use lemon juice, citric acid powder or even yogurt, but I recommend using cultured buttermilk. 1. Add milk to double-boiler and heat until 85˚ F. 2. If using direct-set culture, follow instructions on packet for amounts and sprinkle on surface of milk. Allow to rehydrate for 2 minutes and then stir with skimmer using an up and down motion until fully incorporated.
